An invalid for a time may do best on a little toasted white bread and skim-milk, as oat-meal, etc., may contain too much gluten, which is not needed in the system at this time. There is a difference in proteids. Gluten is more like gelatine and is used where toughness is required as in the skin, tendons and muscle. The vital proteids are required in the nerves and brain. It is not well to eat eggs for breakfast in all kinds of sickness, but a soft boiled egg for dinner may be good for some. The excessive use of meat is a cause of cancer, and it is the gelatine which is to blame. There are two factors, however, which should be considered. We may eat gelatine, sugar or grease, and if we work hard in the open air we overcome the disease in a measure. It has been proved that carnivorous fishes have cancers if the fishes are crowded in a pool, but removal to running water cures them, as running water contains more air and oxygen which gives more nerve power and eliminates the useless material. It is the same with malaria. Work in the pure air burns off the hydro-carbons better and the blood becomes more mobile. When we use oat-meal, mush, etc., with skim-milk we don't get much solid food, for we fool ourselves by taking lots of water which we would not use otherwise. In winter stabled horses are seen to excrete dark heavy urine, as they are fed on grain or proteids and drink little water. Vegetables contain much water and are useful. The air in closed rooms is dead, but out-door air is in motion. Decay and filth fills the air with gasses and oxygen is displaced, which means death to "the white spark" of the nerves, the generators of power. If you have money and leisure you can dissipate more with less inconvenience than as if you had no money or time. It has been proved that the use of alcohol, tobacco, etc., wastes the tissues and nourishment the same as hard work and overworks the liver, kidneys and lungs; but work is the poor man's bulwark, and thus it is that the abstemious person is always a better, wiser, more reasonable and industrious employe than the other. The "sport" has a debauch and then a "loaf" or else he soon goes to the sanitarium. Stimulants always lessen your powers after each dose or after the first effects are worn out. We can show you how to overcome poverty without a labor union propaganda, or a lodge benefit, for you can live on a few cents per day and become better off thereby, if you follow the right method. Many have tried to live on boiled potatoes, beans, skim-milk and vegetables, but have failed; but the trouble was this: the system had been adapted to the stimulation of creatinin, the stimulant of meat, and when this was withdrawn there was a slack action to the stomach and general system. But I have proved that if you use some onions or celery or some mild condiment like pepper or the like you can avoid meat without trouble.
